Birders have been at Easton's Pond since sunrise and the Ivory Gull
has not shown up.  Therer are stilll a number of birders at the pond,
but most birders have gone to First Beach, Second Beach and Third
Beach to check.  One birder is going to the Hazard St. Marsh and drive
around Ocean Drive.

If this Ivory Gull is the Provincetown Gull, it's habit seems to be to
head west in the evening and forage at different areas to the west the
next day.  The fish processing buildings and Galilee fishing boats at
Galilee might be a logical place to check either today or tomorrow.
